Abstract

This chapter focuses on the question of how the policy priorities of Global AIDS have informed the nature of knowledge developed in this field. It argues that while knowledge of HIV has developed rapidly since the 1980s, and which this expansion has been important, it conceals a central weakness. This weakness stems from the way in which specifically bio-medical forms of understanding has been deployed within the Global AIDS framework. This chapter offers a critical analysis of knowledge production processes and their implications for policy thinking. The focus is also on the way in which Global AIDS system disseminates and diffuses knowledge through the mechanism of international conferences.

Fußnoten
1
I would like to emphasize here that this discussion is about the way in which the perceptions of biomedicine that exist within the policy world inform the way in which key actors within this world use these perspectives to engage with biomedical knowledge. It is often the case that at the level of clinical engagement many, medically trained professionals think about what they are doing in relation the individual circumstances an individual faces.

See, for instance, Knutsson (2016) considers what it means to achieve AIDS-related positive outcomes in the politically constrained environment of Rwanda.

This learning process allows many people over time to move professionally between various organizational settings within the Global AIDS system. As I discussed in earlier chapters, some of the key ways of doing Global AIDS work are related to activists’ movement from resource-rich settings into international organizations. Similarly, many AIDS workers from resource-poor settings can become global activists by working for or alongside international organizations.

Given the discrepancy between the available space and the issues that need to be covered, the process of creating panels is an arduous task that attempts to be inclusive so that important topics are not left out from the conference programme. This also highlights how appearing on the programme can become a political process independent of the abstract submission and selection procedures. Space for social sciences is even more limited within the more regional conferences that are organized between the biennial meetings.

I am sure number of readers will be rather critical of this analysis, saying that it was important for this paper to be included in the Lancet special issue, and that it provided space to bring the social sciences into the discussion. I agree. However, this kind of tactical engagement speaks volumes about the politics of AIDS within the IAS conference, offering social science only the most limited space for engagement. Witnessing such an approach in practice provides little encouragement to other social scientists to engage with the issues in an open minded and critical manner, given that what one observes is in effect a practice of disciplining.
